Hi there, Matt...I know Lacrosse Box archeological assessment has taken place and I understand that there were no findings there. That said, are there further updates about next steps together with timings? Will the work on the Box ramp up yet this fall?
Kevin Martin asked 1 day agoHi Kevin,
The assessment has been completed as you said. Next steps are now to wait for the archeological report to be accepted by the province, who will issue a notice to proceed. Unfortunately, we don't have an exact timeline of when that will happen.

Hello, I just heard that there is talk of a Property owned by the owner of Barbaritto that is opening up his property (at $500 per person / month) for a total of 10 people to stay in Mobile homes with 5 people to a unit with a common kitchen / facilities as a temporary housing project? This would be for transients / drug users/homeless. I work in this area and already feel the depravity of these people and the effects of their abuse/needles/drug use.... and thefts of people's properties in this area. This used to be a beautiful area for Tourism and now I fear that this will have a very negative impact on our city and it's future of tourism; not to mention the safety of our children and seniors. I'm hoping that this is not really going to happen?

Hi there, can you please tell me the full status of renovation and/or resurfacing work scheduled for the Lacross Box at Community Park? I know there have been issues with archeological findings that I have heard have stalled the project. However, there has been zero communication on exactly where any of this stands together with timing considerations. I am concerned that while this project was fully budgeted and approved that these delays will now indeed slide beyond the current term of City Council and new Council (being voted in this fall) may change all of this. Is it guaranteed that with all that is currently known that this project will NOT be scrapped and will indeed proceed as soon as possible? This work was to have been completed this summer and clearly, that mark has been missed.
Kevin Martin asked 24 days agoHi Kevin,
Thanks for your inquiry. There have been delays from a provincial regulations' perspective, and the City has been asking for updates on a regular basis. Because there haven't been more concrete updates to the timing of this project, there hasn't been a need to provide any further information.
We did receive an update yesterday that some initial archeological work will be beginning soon, however we don't have an anticipated update in terms of timelines or construction plans. We'll update the public once we have more fulsome updates.

Thank you for approving the side walk on the Alberni hwy from Lee Ave to Bernard Ave. This will provide much needed safety for all who use it. I see the number of people walking it on a daily basis increasing year over year. Well done!
Linda Thomas asked 27 days agoYou're welcome, Linda! Thank you for the kind comment and appreciation.

Hi there. I’m a neighbour of the roundabout on Temple Street at Rushton Ave. Call me crazy, but I am in favour of removing the small roundabout and adding stop signs on Rushton. Too many times have people come zipping up to the roundabout, quickly check side to side, and nearly hit vehicles leading to a lot of honking, hard braking, and yelling. With having the roundabout there as well has an increased level of noise pollution since many people floor it back up to 50 on motor bikes, large trucks, and other such noise emitters. Just today I witnessed someone not ever slow down at all going through the roundabout and only slammed her brakes on when some kids came up to the crosswalk. I think it’s in the best interest for public safety to just install stop signs and ditch the redundant roundabout. I’m hoping to get this concern to the correct individual. Thank you.

Re; Stage 4 restrictions Why does your website differ from what the local Parksville Qualicum Beach Newspaper shows. Some one has their wires crossed and people are confused
Cheryle asked about 1 year agoThe information on our website and Let's Talk Parksville is correct. If you wish clarification and believe there is a discrepancy, please email info@parksville.ca.

Needing to do some powerwashing around the condo. Any idea when I can get it done. Lots of rainy days ahead.
Noname asked almost 2 years agoFor now, until further notice, the City is in stage 4 water conservation which restricts outdoor watering. The link to the bylaw is here https://www.parksville.ca/cms/wpattachments/wpID377atID7171.pdf
The reason for these restricts is explained in this release https://www.parksville.ca/cms/wpattachments/wpID135atID12070.pdf

Hi, I am very disappointed that Parksville City Council has not found physical space (or space in their hearts), to open up a cold/wet weather shelter here in town for the winter. I've watched the news and have read the local paper and it seems that City Council just wants to download the "problem" onto neighbouring communities such as Nanaimo. I volunteer in Parksville and know that: a) people are suffering....they need help, warmth and compassion; b) not all folks have substance abuse issues...in fact some are seniors or are on disability and c) many of them are from this community and went to school here. Forcing them to go to another community because Parksville doesn't want to deal with them is not OK. I understand finding a more permanent solution would be great, but Council needs to do that in the Spring not when cold and wet weather is upon us. Please find some empathy and do the right thing by opening a shelter right away. Thank you.

Can you please tell me where resurfacing and/or repainting of pickleball courts stands for the Lacrosse pen in Community Park? I recall this particular project was supposed to have been implemented along with the resurfacing/reconfiguring of the tennis courts in the park. I inquired about the Lacrosse pen some time ago and was told it was yet to come before Council for formal approval. Please advise where this stands together with who I need to contact in order to move this project forward. Thank you.
Kevin Martin asked over 3 years agoHello, a report for Council consideration will be brought forward at a regular Council meeting, most likely in July. Meetings in July are scheduled for July 5 or July 17 with agendas posted to our website the Thursday before the meeting..
